- Nasa Is Planning To Place A 1000 Kg Satellite In An Equatorial Circular Orbit If The Orbital Speed Of The Satellite Is 1 (18.7 KiB) Viewed 46 times
NASA is planning to place a 1000 kg satellite in an equatorial circular orbit. If the orbital speed of the satellite is 6.90* 10 m/s, (a) what is the distance of the satellite above Earth's surface, (b) what is the magnitude of gravity on the satellite on the orbit, and (c) how much time does it take to complete one orbit? If the satellite happens to be at a position that Earth, the satellite, and the Moon are on one straight line, (d) what is the distance between Earth and the satellite so that the net gravitational force on the satellite is zero? (The mass of Earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg and the radius of Earth is 6.378 x 105 m. The distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.844 x 10 m and the mass of the Moon is 7.36 x 1022 kg.) (e) If the satellite is in an orbit that it takes 21.0 hours to complete one circular motion, what is the radius of the orbit?
